She: Their Love Story’s 2012 released. And it feels like a lifetime. So much of how this film depicts lesbians is rigid, dated and relies far too heavily on overused tropes. 3.1/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
Heartland is just the next victim of my WLW film burnout era. While the film is competent, there isn’t enough here that’s unique and memorable to me. 5.3/10
The relationship between the two leads covers a lot of ground, much of it toxic and not necessarily related to sexuality. But it’s the very complexity of this relationship that makes Beanpole such an excellent film. 8.8/10
This movie is so bad that it made me respect cinema as a genre more, with the notable exception of The White Book which reconstructed my conceptualization of what a truly terrible film looks like. 1.4/10
while I personally found Suddenly interesting and engaging, I don’t think that opinion holds much weight as I can’t even fully justify it to myself. 5.7/10
There’s no edge to Bar Girls at all. This is a film that takes the still taboo theme of homosexuality and tries to make it as palatable as possible for the mainstream. And it doesn’t even look like that worked. 4.6/10
As a film about a queer family of choice, it’s more complex than many of the ones I watch. But I supposed I just wished all these queer misfits liked each other a little more. 6.1/10
This is one of those movies that I give a negative review to because there’s just not enough positive to say about it. The film is a bit thin on the ground anyway, and what they do present is less than great. 3.8/10
Vintage psychodramas are a non-renewable resource. We’re not exactly getting more of them. So I adore the ones we do have. As imperfect as they are, they are engaging, fucked up and also willing to explore some interesting concepts. 6.2/10
Wild Things: Diamonds in the Rough created an idealized, misogynistic world where the only women in it are hot. And then made the choice to hate all the women it just made up. 2/10
